The stadium designed by Giovanni Greppi was built between 1925 and 1927 on the site known as Campo Garibaldi. The regime’s first public work, it combined celebratory needs with a skilful use of modern construction techniques. In 1933-34, after being acquired by the Opera Natzonale Balilla, modifications were made to the entrance and grandstand and it was extended with a long building by Gianni Mantero containing a swimming pool, gym, fencing room and the Opera Balilla headquarters. The building designs the current front on Viale Sinigaglia. The original complex envisaged a velodrome, subsequently removed to make room for alterations of a temporary nature and not in continuity with the existing structure.
